Hula Hoop Girl

I’m in sea of people so deep I could almost drown

There’s breaking waves of passion, waves of neon, all this sound

I should be diving right into it kicking myself down

But something’s dragging me away from the here and now

I'm always so damn distracted by things I think I'm lacking

Counting dollars and hours, imagined superpowers

Then I spot this girl and she stop me in my tracks

Hula hoop girl at the edge of the crowd

She goes round and round and round and round

Something hypnotic about how turns

She just whirls and whirls and whirls and whirls

Hair down to her hips and the beginning of a song on her lips

Hula hoop girl at the edge of the world

I watch her swing

I feel the freedom that I’m seeing spread to my body

I guess there's something to be said for circularity

I plant my feet in the grass and I stop pretending

Body relaxes, my is heart tender

Here in the moment, a pure surrender

Give myself up to the blazing splendour

There's no more wondering why

Push my hands up through the sky

I interlace all my fingers

And let the moment linger

My eyes lock with hers and I send her all my thanks

Hula hoop girl at the edge of the crowd

She goes round and round and round and round

Something hypnotic about how turns

She just whirls and whirls and whirls and whirls

Hair down to her hips and the beginning of a song on her lips

Hula hoop girl at the edge of the world

Both of my feet are planted in the grass

Once in my life I don't have to think fast

Forget about future, forget about past past past past

Nothing else matters, there's no where or when

Once in my life I don't have to pretend

Focus on now, and forget about then then then

Hula hoop girl at the edge of the crowd

She goes round and round and round and round

Something hypnotic about how turns

She just whirls and whirls and whirls and whirls

Hair down to her hips and the beginning of a song on her lips

Hula hoop girl at the edge of the world
